"Unless a game company institutes some sort of gestapo or online police for for their game, which would probably make it unfun because people would be constantly worrying if the stuff they're chatting about or typing about is being monitored or policed."
I'll just leave this here.

"..maybe it's because they really are Satan.."
That must be it!

Griefing is stupid.

the escapist are a bunch of pretentious whiners, the only reason they're on the map is because of Yahtzee

The only people who have to worry about being constantly monitored and policed are people who try to set up griefer bases on their own sims and have lost their sims because of it at least once before - so naturally, Tizzers, you are being constantly monitored and policed.
Nice map view of Woodburyland, Tizzers. You think up that all by yourself, did you? Thought the Lindens had stopped watching, did you?

People like this are the reason that people grief.

Guys with long hair and goatees that aren't in Musketeer outfits deserved to be punched in the face for being pretantious dicks anyway.

Yes WitnessX, I think up all griefing on the grid. I'm glad we see eye to eye.

@ witness X
I like how you just inadvertently put yourself on the level of a Linden. Sorry, but the JLU are not Lindens. As much as you'd like to be, you're not. If you were, SL would have died shortly after the hype bubble burst. I wouldn't be shocked if whoever put that little sky thing up wasn't a JLU alt wanting to rekindle old flames.
What's hilarious about this is that there are other groups that actually grief AND have sims where they plan and test weapons, which Woodbury has been accused of doing in the past. Yet I have yet to see the JLU jump on any of these groups. Oh right, those groups didn't expose your ignorance and incompetence. So much for justice, eh?
I bet Tizzers could stop playing SL, and many years later, people would still be screaming about how Tizzers Foxchase is still griefing the grid, planning the end of Secondlife and is just on "yet another crafty alt"
God you people need to get out more.

I wonder if there is anyone involved with anarchy (griefing) or conformity (JLU/GLC) in SL who is over 35 years of age and not some little weiner kiddie punk like those shown in that video above. I mean they look like the type where one smash in the face or one baseball bat to the knees would send them home whining and crying the bawwwwww. I wonder how many would stand and fight in a full-on hospitalization required type brawl. Like if you had a JLU member in RL and they were standing there yacking and jaw jacking some bullshit about the PN to somebody, when suddenly someone in the small listening group clenches up a fist and lets it sail...BLAMMO it hits the JLU member square in the nose, breaking it, shoving a few shards of nose cartlidge up into the skull cavity. In the fleeting moments before the blood starts to gush, the JLU member gets a partially formed thought that maybe they should have kept their damned mouth shut. They fall backwards onto the ground while tryng to think. QUESTION: will the little mealy mouthed JLU punk, similar in kind to one of those in the video above, will they either 1.> Get up and run home crying, or 2.> Get up and take another blow from the mysterious stranger in the Guy Fawkes mask :)

@solyent grief IS WEINERS
There is something creepy about your comment. Perhaps it's too well though out, no?
Posted by: Satan | May 08, 2009 at 03:30 PM
The guy at 5:50 looks just like me. The fact that he's an SA goon makes this even more amusing.

I smirked when I heard that too.
>Nice map view of Woodburyland, Tizzers. You think up that all by yourself, did you? Thought the Lindens had stopped watching, did you?
I can only laugh at the thought of you creaming your pants and updating anti-griefer wiki articles with every last detail of the Woodburyland map image. If you look carefully I'm sure you can find the number 23 there somewhere too.

@Witness X
To understand something like this you need to have worked in a warehouse at some point, have you worked in a warehouse before? Have you really worked in warehouse, gotten down on your skinned knees, and really put out?
